something i deal with as a science reporter is the fear of discussing the nuance in this science conversation because i'm afraid when i talk about how this is a really nuanced problem, it adds fuel to them saying it happened years ago. all of a sudden the climate deniers say this can't possibly be global warming. >> they use the advantage of science, which is we're not certain about everything. we do experimentation and give you a parameter within which things can happen, an explanation, and we have hypothesis theories, and they go aha you don't know. i know because god told me. god turns out to be the koch brothers right? >> i'm loving all of the tweets, you know sandy is god's way of... i actually sent out a tweet last night it's not god's way of anything. nature has no agenda here. >> we're used to that. these big storms have always been accompanied by those who want to attribute it to a divine course. that's absurd on its face. i don't know what to say to that. >> thank you guys, actually come back and stay with us and we'll have more discussions about the ramifications later on the show.

so there's all of this -- there it's all of this science out there about the dangerous level of green house gas that we need to be afraid of. when do we need to start panicking? >> al: well, you know, panic is never something that is advisable but the evidence is in. 97% to 98% of all of the most actively publishing climate scientists every single national academy of science in the world every professional scientific association in the world agree on the consensus view. and you have the large carbon polluters, desperately trying to hold back the truth and running all of these ads. current tv is the only news network on tv that doesn't have all of this sponsorship from the coal and oil companies. all of the others have it. and they're among the two or three biggest advertisers on television. you see their ads everywhere. and they pay even more money and lobbying. they're for anti-climate lobbyists on capitol hill, every single member of the house and senate. they're using their big money to promote dirty fuels that lead to dirty weather. and the scientists have told us that exactly wha

hey, what about climate science? u.s.a.! u.s.a.! we're number one! ha ha, take that, climate change. luckily, not everybody's that dense. new cover of business week is it's global warming stupid. we now have the author of that article, assistant managing editor of bloomberg business week joining us now. some believe this cover story is a bit controversial. do you believe it is? >> no, obviously the cover language is meant to get people's attention but if you read the story itself, you see we're playing it right down the middle. the issue here is not to blame climate change for any one particular storm but to say that the conditions in the atmosphere have indisputably changed and as a result of those changes, all storms generally speaking are going to be prone to be more severe and more frequent and we are beginning to see in undeniable terms the price of the warming of the atmosphere, the warming of the ocean waters and the rise of the ocean waters. >> cenk: paul, here's the problem with that. you say it's undeniable, all the scientists say it's unde
